It goes without saying: Bring your pocketbook and your finest fountain pen to each Sotheby’s action. More than likely, cost is no object, as evidenced by yesterday’s Art of the Automobile auction in New York.

Within two hours, the auction generated more than $60-million worth of sales, with many cars far in excess of $1,000,000. The 1964 Ferrari 250 LM Competizione took top honours as the most expensive car of the day, while a 1938 Talbot-Lago T150-C SS Cabriolet, seen as the beautiful coach-built cars of all time, fetched $7,150,000.
